The Journal and Notes modules are similar in design and function. Both allow you to write down your thoughts, ideas, and pretty much anything else. However, while the Notebook consists of pages, the Journal keeps your entries organized by date.

Once you've set up the project and storylines, you can start adding cards to it. To do this, press the New Card button in the main toolbar, or choose Edit -> New Card. You can then type either a few keywords or a short description, or use the available options to enter as much info as you like. For example, the Content window provides a simple editor with a few text formatting tools, which you can use to write parts of your story. The Setting tab allows you to specify location and time as well as choose location details. To place the card on a particular storyline, switch to the General tab and choose the desired storyline from the drop-down list.

There are, however, situations when you don't want to place the card on a particular storyline just yet. In this case, you can hide the card by right-clicking on it and selecting the Move to Pocket menu item. When you are ready to place the card onto a storyline, right-click where you want to insert the card and select the Insert from Pocket menu item. To view your story in a more conventional linear format, switch to the Report tab, which shows the card as properly formatted text.
